Behind The Veil (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

Much of the time we’re faking it,

the airs we put on most false

 

Impressions made and set in jade,

green onions the main course

 

Our friends change out with stature,

as silver turns to gold

 

An alchemist’s dream, the grandest scheme

—our hearts once warm left cold

 

(King Of Prussia Pennsylvania: January, 2020)

 

 

 

Sighting In

 

It’s hard to ask the right questions,

their answers easier made

 

The hammer cocked, the truth in sight

—through crosshairs query bade

 

(Radnor Pennsylvania: January, 2020)

 

 

 

 

The Trap

 

The only way to escape the jungle

—is in self delusion

 

(University Of Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
